wack shit goin' on.
=====================================
From The Stranger:
Looks like the liquor board is trying to ban all ages shows once again. According to the newly proposed Nightclub License amendments (which were just announced today), “Persons under twenty-one years of age are not allowed in a nightclub at any time.” Their definition of a nightclub is “a business that is operated primarily for the purpose of providing alcohol which offers live entertainment and promotes its entertainment offerings as it’s primary customer draw.”
Translation? Kids under 21 years old will not be able to attend show at venues that also serve liquor during shows. This will eliminate the possibility of shows at venues like the Showbox, El Corazon, Neumo’s, the Crocodile, Hell’s Kitchen, Chop Suey, etc.
You can learn more information at the Seattle Nightlife & Music Association’s website (www.seattlenma.org).
More importantly, though, you can speak up against this new amendment to the liquor laws by emailing the mayor’s office and our State representatives (it’s being submitted to the legislature, which would make it a statewide, not just a King County issue). Also, e-mail the liquor board at wslcb@liq.wa.gov.
We [at The Stranger] are looking into dissecting this bill more thoroughly, as there is a lot of, as the kids would say, wack shit goin’ on.

now, i'm too young/wasn't in the scene yet to remember the TDO, but apparently those fuckers are kinda trying to do it again.
and it really pisses me off, because the paradox is GONE and hasn't found a new place, yet. the vera project is still here. and i can't think of any other SEATTLE all ages venues... oh wait... the L.A.B.?? and there's the ones on the eastside, the redmond firehouse, kirkland teen union building, and ground zero. tacoma... has club impact, club adrian, club sota, the kickstand cafe? and those are the ones that are strickly all-ages [someone correct me if i'm wrong!].
this is bullshit. i really hope it doesn't happen. if it does, i know there will be a ton of angry people, and not just teenagers. and some of the bands that bring in big crowds at places like el corazon, have members who aren't 21+.
